   I don't have anything really on my computer that needs backing up. I use SkyDrive to store documents like Homework etc. but apart from that nothing. Everything nowadays is easy enough to re-download from the internet at a later date.

   I don't really know much about monitors, but all I know is if you stick with the big brands you should be alright. BenQ, Asus and Dell monitors seem to be quite popular or so I'm told.

   Well, I'd rather have people using Vista and XP. I don't see what's wrong with Windows 7 though if you don't like Windows 8's interface. (Even though there's a few cheap paid and free tools to make it behave pr

   The game's decades old now. Do you think it's going to do them any financial impact, really? They don't even sell the game anymore apart from on the Wii store. The only people playing it are those using downloaded ROMS on the

   Amazon use Royal Mail and generally use 2nd class unless you pay extra for delivery ('Super Saver Delivery'). I'm not going to pay extra just for a day or so.

   Looks nice, but if it's only Mac compatible it's not going to take off any time soon. Get the Win/Linux versions out ASAP.

   GrooveShark is great, but because of the user-uploaded content half the songs are incorrectly tagged and the albums are mostly incomplete.

    I always found Origin to be a really nice client on Windows. It's lightweight, fast, simple and the overlay has built-in broadcasting to Twitch.TV!

    DuckDuckGo is great. I always end up after a while using Google though as I find Google generally has better results and I enjoy the 'sort in the last...' functions for example that DDG lacks.

    It's nice, but that darn font shadowing and sky blue text is horrible. And who the hell uses 'Dog Pile' anymore?

    Guess you could set up XP in a VirtualBox specifically for this purpose. I know Teamviewer is compatible with Linux (They use a pre-configured WINE/Mono type build, alike Picasa for Linux). Used it myself and it works as well as the native
